Mon Roi

 Mon Roi 2015

  • Director: Maïwenn
  • Based on book: no
  • Cast: Vincent Cassel, Emmanuelle Bercot, Louis Garrel,
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • Vincent Cassel – Black Swan, Derailed, Birthday Girl, Elizabeth
  • Why? Possibly good.
  • Seen: 2 July 2022      

       Tony (Bercot) is in a five-week rehab program for a severely injured knee. While there she reminisces about her stormy marriage to Georgio (Cassel).

       The film got rave reviews. I really don’t understand why. Neither Tony nor Georgio are at all likeable. It’s both boring and enervating. I realise that there are couples like this but what’s the point of suffering through a film about it? I wouldn’t want these people as my friends. The film is just not interesting, and it goes on forever.

       Bercot and Cassel are very good in their roles, but they are such irritating characters! 

2* of 5
